Application ied'nne 30,

.To afl?. :whom if. may como/"11.:

Beit known that. l, Leni L. Comme, n citizen olE the United States, residing at Johnstown, in thtl county ol" Cni'nhiin und Stilte ot" le1iii,f.-1),fl\nnin, have invented eer-- tuin .new and nse'lnl improvements in llleetrie irons, ol which the following` a specil'iention. i

This invention relate# to nn elertrio iron, :rnd is more portienlarl)v (nlnpted to n switch tor controllingl the opening und closing of the eirenit to the heating' Coils in the iron.

One of the important ohjeets o'l the pres ent invention is to provide :1 switch ot the above mentioned character, which is so inonnted es to render the sinne accessible while the iron is in person to readily ent ilse, thus enabling e oit the current to the whenever desired.

A 'further object of the invention is to provide :in electric switch for electricl irons, which is so inonnted ne to not inter tere with the handling ol the iron, the switch heine` preferably mounted in the handle.

further object of the invention is to provide :t device ot the :doove mentioned character, which .is simple in construction, inexpensive, strong and durable, und urther well adapted tor the purposes for which it is designated.

Other objects :ind advantages ot the invention will heeoine app-iront during the following description.
